London - The recent economic downturn hasn’t been bad for everyone. As large high street businesses struggle to make ends meet, some niche businesses go from strength to strength. One of those businesses is Ladies large size shoes.

The average woman will tell you that the finishing touch to any outfit are the accessories, most difficult to find being the shoes. This is especially true for women with 8+ shoe sizes.

Women with large feet now have a reason to look down at their feet for gratifying reasons. There was a time when it was almost impossible to find quality, fashionable large shoes for women. It was all about the size, not style and fashion. However since the 1990s, a new trend emerged. As customer expectations rose, so did the style and quality of plus size shoes for women. These days large shoes are not only about size, but about fashion, style and more importantly, accessorising.

London based Crispins Shoes is one of the major players in this niche market. “We have seen a steady rise in demand and a sharp rise in overseas orders” says Peiman Merikhi the owner of Crispins Shoes. “Crispins shoes has an extensive range of highly fashionable large shoes for ladies, which include large sandals, pumps, boots and even large wedding shoes."

"For a few years now, we’ve been at the forefront of improving quality, look and feel of our products. I believe ladies large shoes have never been more beautiful"

"The secret of our success is style and uniqueness that comes hand in hand with quality. Believe it or not, finding the perfect plus size pair of shoes, can be an emotional experience for women used to making do. “

“We recently had a customer who tried on a pair of stylish size 10.5 leather boots. She was overcome by the sight of herself in the boots and was quite tearful. At first I thought the boots were too tight and were hurting her. I finally plucked up the courage and asked her if there was anything wrong. She smiled and explained that because of her large feet, she had never worn boots in her adult life because she simply couldn't find them that large. I always knew women loved shoes, but I was surprised about the level of emotions involved."

There we have it. When it comes to ladies shoes, plus size or regular, it seems that style and fashion have the last word.
